Explanation:
More than 100,000 children are adopted each year in the United States. Increasingly, these adoptions are being made by same-sex couples, raising questions about whether a child’s best interests can be served by same-sex parents. Are traditional homes still the best way to go, or are kids just as well-suited as part of a non-nuclear family?

The Simple Answer is Yes
No
Sorry, buster, but this makes no sense. The evidence has all been refuted big time, and I was raised by my dad and my brother. My mom was a wacko alcoholic who thankfully didn't raise me. Yes, I had an unhappy childhood, but it would've been ten times worse has my mom been there - she's anything but motherly. Now that I'm in college away from my mom, I am as happy as can be. My first roommate, a girl, has been like a mother to me and made a much happier person out of me, but I'm also sexually attracted to her, so try to use your puny evidence to prove which one of those matters!!! And don't tell me that I'm attracted to her only because I never had a mother... that couldn't explain what being one of the happiest people in the world has to do with disadvantages in childhood.

Your crying out for a real motherly hug so here is one
Did you ever try to find out why your mother is an alcoholic? Did you ever consider the ammount of love she has in her heart for you and that she knows shes a failure....WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOVE that the homosexual community profess to have. Love your Mom and honor her no matter what kind of a mother she is and you will receive a blessing. No ones mother was ever perfect and you are fooling no one with the Im better without her and college is making me so happy. BS. You are hurting because you didnt get the love you needed in life and that was unfair to you. You want your mother to be what you need her to be and your child inside is crying to have her hold you and tell you that she loves you and you want to be able to trust and believe that you can rely on her and not be disappointed by her. Believe me she wants that too. If I was you Id grow and take your life into your own hands and make up with her even if you know she will never be reliable as a mother because someday she wont be there and you will regret not having had the nerve to walk up to her and say I FORGIVE YOU MOM...and until then dont blame the world for your chips and insecurities...YOU CHOOSE THE LIFE YOU WANT TO CHOOSE just be adult enough to own it. Gd bless you. Find a church . Quit drowning your sorrows in alcohol and partying, they wont go away that way and youll only compound your pain and suffering. Thats my motherly advice to you.

I would like to add that the homosexual lifestyle is like
sacrificing your life to a pagan false Gd...is that really truely what you intened to do with your life? I choose Gd and that means I reject the notion that homosexuality is normal and pleasing to Gd!

all well and good then...
But your concept of God is not one that is shared by a significant portion of the human population.
You may reject homosexuality due to your religious teachings... but those teachings are not objective fact.
